Hi, im going for a sour ale and i just want it to be super sour, so I stepped up the Acidulated malt. can it be too much?
Other thing I might do is not use WL yeasts and bacteria, but harvesting Sour Beer Bottle Dregs (Cantillon would be the choice)
Other thing im thinking is that 9,9 IBU is too much, maybe use the only for 30 minutes or simply use less
Im also not so sure about the salt.
